1000s of PDFs Collected Automatically

Just built and delivered an automation for a client who had thousands of probate cases that needed to be augmented with court records from a specific website. Manually looking up each name, downloading the relevant PDFs, and adding links to the spreadsheet would've taken weeks of tedious work - so I created a Python script that handles the entire process automatically.

The system opens a browser, reads the CSV file, searches each person's name on the court website, collects all associated documents (petitions, notices, orders for service, etc.), downloads the PDFs, and adds everything back to an updated CSV file. What would have been thousands of manual searches and downloads now runs completely hands-off while the client focuses on actual casework instead of data entry.

What's an automation you wish your business had?
